i've been bitten by the bug ...
WHO: Open to all residents
WHAT: Inoculation Season, plus your regular monthly NAPs session
WHERE: Throughout the city, with NAPs held at The Ax Hole.
WHEN: Sept. 10-30 for plague shots and associated side effects; Sept. 10-14 for NAPs
WARNINGS: Please use if applicable!
So tell me, what do you prescribe for these symptoms?
Remember that awful plague that wiped out the city's entire original population? You know, the entire reason you've been brought here? Well, the medical science community of Dualis has been hard at work concocting a cure for as long as anyone can remember, with minimal results. But during the morning of the 10th, news of a breakthrough is announced is a special city-wide bulletin. All media channels are overtaken with this message, and alerts hit every citizen's phone. The best part? Science needs your help!
There's no formal approval process for new vaccines and medications, just a series of volunteer trials before it's determined whether what's being tested is effective. All residents are invited to participate in these trials, with a bonus of 200 extra duos as compensation for their time and possible suffering. Simply head down to your nearest MedDualis clinic and inform the MedDroids supervising that you're reporting for your civic duty. Participants will be given a quick, easy, and practically painless inoculation shot in the arm, and will walk out the door 200 duos richer. Neat, huh?
Participants will be warned that like all experimental drugs, there may be side effects. A non-comprehensive list of those possible side effects includes: minor appearance changes (hair/skin/eye color), enhancing or reducing senses (smell, taste, hearing, sight, etc.), sudden mild development of extranormal abilities (telepathy, super strength, super speed, etc.), the ability to share dreams (if you're not tired of that sorta thing after last month), and/or loss of control over abilities you already possess, or those abilities misfiring. Hey, at least death isn't included on this list!
Any intrepid Dualizen who comes down with a case of weirdness as a result of doing their civic duty will find that weirdness will wear off by the end of the month. The Head thanks you for your sacrifice!
Don't you feel the fever like I do?
Look at all of these bright, shining new faces! There’s even a few less bright, less shining faces - maybe even a few folks without faces - but hey, this city welcomes all types. Chances are, if you’ve just arrived, you're seeing some pretty crazy things, unless you're used to an eye-blinding amount of neon, robots, weird-ass technology, magic, and an omnipresent police force...and hey, if you are, congrats, you're gonna settle in juuuuust fine. But for the rest of you, the Head knows this has gotta be pretty overwhelming, right?
Well, since your quaint individual processing units are probably having a hard time, why not link up with another one? By which the Head means...
Hello, new citizens of Dualis,
and welcome to your monthly Network Adjacency Protocol~!
NAPs are a monthly community networking event similar to the Earth concept of speed dating! Two citizens (new arrivals and old hands alike) are placed at a table together with a handy cue card of queries to help break the proverbial ice. Ask queries and receive results, or ignore the card and yeet yourself straight into a brand new friendship! But don't be too shy, you've only got ten minutes together, and if you just sit in silence for the whole ten, the Network Admins are likely to come supervise and try to repair the uplink through a mild shock to the ol' central nervous system. You might find yourself saying all sorts of unintended facts about yourself if that happens...probably better to just make friends, right? Who doesn’t like friends?!
This month’s event is held at an exciting new establishment called The Ax Hole! The 'Hole is an indoor ax-throwing range plus bar plus mid-price grill-type restaurant, the first of its kind to find a home here in Dualis. You must be at least 18 to drink and/or throw axes, and if you are throwing axes, there is a limit of one drink per hour. The bartenders are very strict about enforcing this rule, and employees are available to give safety instructions on proper ax-throwing technique and supervise activities.
This is a family-friendly establishment, so anyone under 18 is welcome in the restaurant section and the viewing room between the restaurant and range to watch the ax-throwing action, but they are absolutely not allowed inside the range, even just to watch. In fact, anyone who wishes admittance to the range must sign a waiver stating that they understand the risks of participating and agree to hold the Ax Hole free of liability in the event of any accidents that cause injury or death.
If that hasn't scared you off yet, come on down and meet your new neighbors! Oh, and do try to exit with at least as many fingers and limbs as when you entered, OK?

"We must be very careful with this, my friend, I fear there is more than any of us have seen, so proceed with caution. Your partner as well." He shrugged and chuckled at that. "Well, a vampire is always best when it comes to blood. One prick of your finger and I can tell you your blood type and everything wrong with you." Could he really? Nah. but it sounds good, he still needs to look itno blood for that, you cant taste old age, but you can taste last nights booze.
"Oh damn, you've seen through my plan. Whatever shall I do now." he playfully rolled his eyes.

Hank pulls out that book of his, sliding it over to Morbius. It's his old paperback he got from a secondhand store, and in it he's tucked a bunch of post-it notes. He's kept his research hidden in a strange way; Hank's a reader himself.
He flips to the pages that have info on Dualis that he's collected. "This is what I know so far. Fair is fair. Mind if I see your notes?"
He will write them on more post-its. His handwriting isn't as neat as Michael's, but it's not illegible. It looks like the sort of notes a cop would keep but would want other cops to be able to read.
no subject
Michael lifted the book, forever careful of his nails as he turned the pages his notes read careful but quickly as he could, without breaking his eyes from the page he reached into his jacket and pulled a small notebook out about 4x3 and slid it over to Hank, before lifting his hand to turn the page.
Michaels notes were 100% filled with medical jargon and mostly finding strange aspects in tested blood.

"It'll probably look strange to the department if I don't get a vaccination. So I'm thinking about before and after samples. I'll write down all the side effects for you, too. When and where's a good time to come give you one?"
no subject
"As for after, how about a week after you get it done we meet one evening after 7pm and speak it over, you can bring Connor as well if you wish."
He offered as he reached up pushing a bit of his hair back behind his ear.
